 * Keep. Watchers was based on the 1987 novel Watchers by Dean R. Koontz. It's apparently a pretty awful adaptation but is a known cult 80's movie with legit reviews. He's also directed a bunch of B movies and was also a co-producer on American History X.

 * Keep as I've found sources that have him meeting creative professional criteria (specifically WP:CREATIVE #3). DiamondRemley39 (talk) 13:41, 10 March 2021 (UTC) Striking vote. Surprised at how little there is about him--mostly entries in crew list--across the board. I still think he meets notability, but what's the point if there isn't even criticism of his contributions? --DiamondRemley39 (talk) 22:06, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: wp:Creative is an additional criteria. See WP:NBIO.  For merging, there does not seem to have wp:verifiable and useful information to be merged. ~  Aseleste charge-paritytime 12:06, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
